October  – Fri. 29th & Sat. 30th Iberian Challenge v Portugal @ Indalo

 

We recognise that these dates may give problems for some of you within your own Clubs, such as rounds to obtain qualification for the National Championships, but we are confident that not only would you wish to attend the training sessions, but your Clubs would also wish to support you in every way possible.   We would like to advise Team members, under the By-Laws for Sports Clubs, which all Federated Clubs have signed up to, under Article 6, Clubs Obligations with respect to Federated sportsmen/women:-

"The Club shall be obliged to place at the disposal of the corresponding Sport Federation, its members who are Federated sportsmen/women such that they may participate in sports teams, etc, etc."

 

Also

 

"Likewise, the club shall place at the disposal of the Federations, its members who are Federated sportsmen/women, for participation in specific Sport Training Programmes."

 

On behalf of the Management, thank you for your co-operation.
